Pricing
You pay when payroll runs. Nothing else.
No subscription, no per-seat licence, no charge for a month you did not process. A package is recorded when a month’s payroll runs, sized by how many employees were in it. Every figure below is inclusive of GST — what you see is what you pay; the invoice shows the tax break-up within it.
Self-managed company
A company running payroll for its own employees. The package is decided by the number of employees processed in the month. Prices include GST.
| Employees in the month | Rate per employee | Monthly package | Chargeable re-run |
|---|
| 1 – 10 | ₹50 | ₹500 | ₹25 |
| 11 – 25 | ₹50 | ₹1,250 | ₹25 |
| 26 – 50 | ₹50 | ₹2,500 | ₹25 |
| 51 – 100 | ₹45 | ₹4,500 | ₹23 |
| 101 – 150 | ₹45 | ₹6,750 | ₹23 |
| 151 – 200 | ₹40 | ₹8,000 | ₹20 |
| 201 – 300 | ₹40 | ₹12,000 | ₹20 |
| 301 onwards | ₹40 | employees × ₹40 | ₹20 |
Consultancy / payroll service provider
A firm operating payroll for many client companies from one account. All clients’ employees are pooled into one count, so small clients never pay entry packages individually. Prices include GST.
| Pooled employees in the month | Rate per employee | Monthly package | Chargeable re-run |
|---|
| 1 – 50 | ₹45 | ₹2,250 | ₹23 |
| 51 – 100 | ₹45 | ₹4,500 | ₹23 |
| 101 – 200 | ₹45 | ₹9,000 | ₹23 |
| 201 – 300 | ₹40 | ₹12,000 | ₹20 |
| 301 – 400 | ₹40 | ₹16,000 | ₹20 |
| 401 – 500 | ₹35 | ₹17,500 | ₹18 |
| 501 – 600 | ₹35 | ₹21,000 | ₹18 |
| 601 – 750 | ₹30 | ₹22,500 | ₹15 |
| 751 onwards | ₹30 | employees × ₹30 | ₹15 |
How a package is decided — and what happens when your count changes
- The first run of a month records the package. When the month’s payroll first runs successfully, the employees in it are counted and the matching package is recorded against that month. A 7-employee company records ₹500; a 40-employee company ₹2,500.
- Growing within the month charges only the difference. If a later run in the same month brings the count into a higher package — say new joiners take you from 24 to 27 — only the difference between the two packages is added (₹2,500 − ₹1,250 = ₹1,250). You are never charged the higher package twice.
- Shrinking within the month never refunds. The package once recorded stands for that month. Employees who exit and are settled simply drop out of the following month’s count.
- Every month starts fresh. Next month’s package is decided by next month’s count — up or down. There is no annual lock-in and no tier you have to “downgrade” from.
- The unused part of a package is credit. A 7-employee company on the ₹500 package has three unused employee-credits that month. They are recorded, and they fund chargeable re-runs (below) before a rupee is billed.
Re-runs and corrections
Payroll gets corrected — a wrong attendance, a late revision, a settlement recomputed. Vetanika expects that:
- Free re-runs: three per employee, pooled. Each company gets a monthly pool of 3 × its employee count, with any single employee allowed up to 5. Reprocessing an employee’s already-processed month is one re-run; first-time processing never is.
- Beyond the pool, re-runs cost half the per-employee rate — the “chargeable re-run” column above — and they are paid for in this order: first any carried re-run credits from a previous year, then the month’s unused package credit, and only then your balance. The run page shows a live meter of free re-runs left and credits available, so a charge is never a surprise.
- Providers pool the purse, not the free runs. Under a consultancy, each client company keeps its own free pool, so one client’s churn never eats another’s; chargeable re-runs draw on the provider’s shared credits and balance.
Yearly subscription
Monthly is the default and needs no commitment. If you would rather settle the year in one go, a yearly subscription prepays twelve months of your package and brings four benefits:
- Your rates are fixed for the paid year. Any revision to packages announced during the year does not touch you until renewal.
- No monthly gate. With the year settled, no month ever waits on a payment; growth within a month is still charged only as the package difference, at your fixed rates.
- Unused credits work for you. The unused package credits of all twelve months are totalled at renewal: half come off the next year’s bill, and the other half become re-run credits for the year ahead (they lapse after twelve months and are for re-runs only).
- One invoice, one entry in your books. A single GST invoice for the year instead of twelve, which most accountants prefer.
Renewal is on the same terms; the conversion of unused credits is applied at each renewal. Yearly subscriptions are arranged from the Billing page or by writing to client.services@vistrut.com.
Paying, and what happens if you don’t
Salary day is never blocked. A run proceeds even when the balance cannot cover it; the balance simply goes negative. Only the next month’s processing waits until the earlier month’s charge is settled — one full payroll cycle of grace, every time.
- Pay by card, UPI or netbanking in the app through Razorpay or Cashfree, or offline against an invoice; either way the amount lands as balance.
- Unused package credits are totalled at the year’s end and converted as described under Yearly subscription. Silent non-payment forfeits half of the accumulated credits; telling us in advance about a genuine difficulty converts them in full against what you owe instead — we reward the conversation.
- Processed payslips and registers stay viewable and downloadable through any suspension, dues or no dues. Your records are yours.
